[en] Never mentioned here some photo shoots I did to a pregnant friend following her until the birth of the baby. However, some of you probably saw some photos of that on google+ or facebook. Baby Júlia has born weeks ago and I already saw her although she has ignored me the all time ;)

This experience, and opportunity, pop up very spontaneously in a conversation at a five o'clock tea. Despite no experience in this kind of photography, that fact was not a barrier for me, the pregnant (and husband) to commit ourselves in this little project. During the weekends, month after month we gathered more or less cheerful but tried to give our best.

This couple not only gave me a vote of confidence to photograph this stage of their lives, now quite documented, as well the pleasure of following that same stage with them. More than a experience and opportunity this came along with a lesson I learned:

Dedicate my precious time to be with those who really believe in me, value me and like to be around me with no counterparts. And, though I speak for myself, the "rewards" you win when doing things without interests behind are priceless and last in time.
